What was Marriott thinking?

Marriott Marquis hotel, next to San Diego's Convention Center.

Imagine giggling businessmen waiting for an elevator.
As offensive as the below sign is to businesswomen (and decent men), how can this be?
There's no way this was an innocent coincidence.

Aren't American businesses required to create workplaces (especially where every room is stocked daily with alcohol) that do not make half their employees uncomfortable and vulnerable?




Bird's eye view of California hotel.



And they could have come up with less suggestive names for the locations at the two ends.

"Ball Room" totally got me !

Just noticed the "Activity Center"...looks like the building designer passed their anatomy class!

Please do me/us a favor.
Go to the North Tower, take the elevator to the 19th floor.

When you exit the elevator, tell us if the sign in front of the elevators (see above pic) still says, Activity Center and Ball Room.

If not, what do they say now?

If different, there are two possibilities.
1. The #MeToo movement educated them. Good!
2. It never said Activity Center and Ball Room, and this thing (be it humor or poor taste spreading on the Internet) was just someone Photoshopping the sign.

Thanks.

It would be too much for me to ask you to do the following.
But if I was there, and the sign above is correct, I'd make a big loud stink with the management at the front desk, but I'd wait till lots of women are there.
